Is it possible?\n\nI do not offhand know if there are such hooks, but I would imagine\nthat I'd be mightily annoyed if I were forced to interact with such\na server. I may not have a need to pull anything for a few days,\nworking on my changes, and then I'd find out when the service is\nalready down. I may pull many times a day, and for a few days of\npre-announcement period, I'd be forced to see the same message over\nand over. I may have a cron job to fetch down the changes made by\ncoworkers in other timezones while I am sleeping so that I can start\nmy day from an up-to-date state, but it is very likely I would say\n\"fetch --quiet\" in the cron job because I want it to be quiet unless\nthere is an error.\n\nI'd appreciate if the Gitmasters at the company sent an e-mail\naddressed to git-users@mycompany.xz instead.\n"},{"id":"259166","messageId":"alpine.LSU.2.00.1504081206420.10193@hermes-1.csi.cam.ac.uk","threadId":"39009","inReplyTo":"CAFT+Tg-Gwr9EemFv88+=Ao21dGYe73D-CDiT4mXU4kuP-niOSw@mail.gmail.com","subject":"Re: How to send a warning message from git hosting server?","fromName":"Tony Finch","fromEmail":"dot@dotat.at","sentAt":"2015-04-08T11:08:06Z","receivedAt":"2015-04-08T11:08:06Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"dot@dotat.at","avatar":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/68429?v=4"},"body":"Yi, EungJun wrote:\n>\n> I want a way to response a remote message when a client send any kind\n> of request.

Is the wrapper for git client or git server?\n"},{"id":"259402","messageId":"552E3D64.8090501@gmail.com","threadId":"39009","inReplyTo":"CAFT+Tg9La03dkteQT0YOPPKdR78w89385VfOGN2B9kLGPo7Kcg@mail.gmail.com","subject":"Re: How to send a warning message from git hosting server?","fromName":"Sitaram Chamarty","fromEmail":"sitaramc@gmail.com","sentAt":"2015-04-15T10:28:52Z","receivedAt":"2015-04-15T10:28:52Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"sitaramc@gmail.com","avatar":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/43316?v=4"},"body":"On 04/12/2015 04:55 PM, Yi, EungJun wrote:\n> On Wed, Apr 8, 2015 at 8:08 PM, Tony Finch wrote:\n>> Yi, EungJun wrote:\n>>>\n>>> I want a way to response a remote message when a client send any kind\n>>> of request.
